Dear All
I have fitted the following glmm: cmai ~ time.f * intrv.f + (1 | nhome.f/Res_Code.f) with poisson distribution, using both glmer and glmmadmb. But the estimation for the fixed and random effects were different, i.e. > summary(lmer.AGGREG.cmai.out3) Call: glmmadmb(formula = cmai ~ time.f * intrv.f + (1 | nhome.f/Res_Code.f), data = beam.AGGREG.cmai.long, family = "poisson", link = "log", zeroInflation = F, admb.opts = admbControl(impSamp = 0, run = F), save.dir = "tmp") AIC: 1032.2 Coefficients: Estimate Std.
